From: Downregulation of leaf flavin content induces early flowering and photoperiod gene expression in Arabidopsis

Figure 9

The effects of riboflavin feeding on the expression of flowering regulatory genes under inductive photoperiod. Plants were grown in short days for 23 days and transferred to long days. Immediately after plant transfer, H2O or an aqueous riboflavin solution was applied by spraying over plant tops. Four days later, the expression of FT and photoperiod genes in leaves (a) and the expression of FD and AP1 in shoot apices (b) were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR using EF1α and Actin2 as reference genes. Data shown are mean values ± standard deviation bars of results from three independent experiments each containing three repeats and 15 plants per repeat. Different letters in bar graphs indicate significant differences by analysis of variance and least significant difference test (P < 0.01).
